Limbo (Baby Limbo) - John Cooper Clarke
以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
Their lives are a mystery
他们的人生如谜般难解
They make it their career
将漂泊当作毕生事业
In the single files of history
在历史的单行队列里
Fall and disappear
坠落并湮灭无迹
Swearing they'll get even
发誓要与那些恶徒
With all those other creeps
清算所有的罪孽
Philistines and heathens
庸俗之徒与异端者
They violently sleep
在暴雨门廊下暴烈安歇
Or steal from cigarette machines
或是从自动售烟机里偷窃
Just for the change
只为那点零钱
To get back to where they've been
回到他们曾去过的地方
A doorway in the rain
雨中的门廊
Back in the confession box
回到忏悔室里
Back in the slums
回到贫民窟中
Desire burns like chicken pox
欲望如麻疹般灼烧
Underneath the thumbs
在拇指的压迫下
A refugee from purgatory
炼狱逃出的流亡者
Wears a crown of thorns
头戴荆棘之冠
Turns out she's a gringo
原来是个异乡人
Of hard circumstance
被命运残酷捉弄
Limbo Baby Limbo
炼狱婴孩 炼狱婴孩
They want to see you dance
他们想看你起舞
Take the tradesman's entrance
从工匠的小门潜入
Take it out on a tramp
把怨气撒在流浪汉身上
Every f**king sentence
每句该死的抱怨
Complains about the damp
都在诉说潮湿的苦楚
The only girl is a faint cry
唯一的女孩是微弱的哭泣
In the garden of cement
在水泥花园中回荡
Wait until the paint dries
等待油漆干透的漫长
It's a big event
竟成了盛大的仪式
Look through heaven's window
透过天堂的橱窗窥望
With their opalescent panes
那些虹彩斑斓的玻璃
Limbo Baby Limbo
炼狱婴孩 炼狱婴孩
Down the Boulevard of shame
沿着耻辱大道踽踽独行
Saint Margaret dies intact
圣女玛格丽特安详离世
Hardly seems alert
却似浑然不觉
Her stone gaze denies the fact
她石化的眼神否认着事实
Her face hurts
面容却饱含痛楚
The extra legal image
那游离于法律之外的影像
The cold cream skin
冰冷如霜的肌肤
The regal gimicks
皇室的把戏
Did you in
将你吞噬
Look through heaven's window
透过天堂的橱窗窥望
You see the powder blue veil
你看见那淡蓝色的面纱
The cover girl of limbo
炼狱中的封面女郎
The sweetheart of the jail
监狱里的甜心
Gypsy babies hop-scotch
吉普赛婴孩跳着房子
Outside the silver gates
在银色大门外嬉戏
The witch doctor's wristwatch
巫医的手表指针
Is stuck at five-to-eight
永远停在差五分八点
A bad break, a slight ache
厄运缠身 隐隐作痛
Is every ones compaint
是每个人共同的抱怨
Flesh flakes like angel cake
肌肤碎屑如天使蛋糕般剥落
From mug-shots of the saints
从圣徒们的入狱照上
Who fell from a window
他们从窗口坠落
Was never seen again
就此消失不见
'Til he turns up in limbo
直到他出现在冥界边缘
In a doorway in the rain
在雨中门廊里徘徊
A hero rides to heaven
英雄驰骋向天堂
The public only rots
而众生只在腐朽
For a fraction of forever
在永恒的瞬息之间
In a designated spot
困于既定之地
Eternally paralysed
永远停滞不前
A morbid orbit shift
病态的轨道偏移
Halfway to paradise
通往天堂的半途
Stuck in the lifts
困在电梯里
Some smart crackin' bimbo
某个刻薄的蠢货
Say's you can't be employed
说你找不到工作
Sends you off to limbo
把你打发到虚无
On the stairway to a void
通向虚空的阶梯
